No, how does exploitation happen regardless of how society is built?

Correlation does not imply causation. This is reddit though so keep raging against that machine.

Exploitation requires imbalance of power. Because we don’t recognize personal property and we have a capitalist legal system, most public property and 100% of personal property is legally categorized as private property.

All property is categorized into private or public property in capitalist legal system. We don’t recognize personal property rights, you go to work at a public company you don’t automatically have equal rights with every worker there over the profits of your labor. The capitalist has legal rights over that.

So you have to use your labor to profit, to be exploited, while the capitalist doesn’t have to work a day in his life gets to hire someone to negotiate against you from a position of privileged ownership under threat of starvation.

Why are you repeating this over and over? Yes I know the system is fucked up if you aren’t at the top.

My point however is that this problem exists regardless of system. The assertion that us growing up in this system leads to sexual abuse is asinine and stupid af. This is of course because this has happened in every form of society and government ever. Why? Because humans will ALWAYS form power groups, always.

Edit: OP is a libertarian. All makes sense

I’m a social democrat, which is a traditional leftwing libertarian.

Human nature is to defy our natural instinctual thoughts and instead use logical reasoning. It’s what separates us from animals.

Exploitation is naturally animal instinct. It requires power imbalances.

It’s a wild state. We are not doomed to it.
